Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

🎯 Investment Strategy

  • Uses a representative sampling approach to replicate the index performance
  • Employs currency forward contracts to hedge the foreign currency exposure

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Market risk: The value of the ETF's investments may decline due to general market conditions or other factors
  • Currency risk: Even with the currency hedging, there may be some residual currency exposure that could impact returns
  • Tracking error risk: The ETF may not perfectly track the underlying index due to various factors
  • Liquidity risk: The ETF may experience low trading volume, which could affect its ability to sell securities at favorable prices
